MERCURY FILLINGS AND HOW THEY DESTROY YOUR HEALTH!!! http://www.y2khealthanddetox.com THE HISTORY OF HOW IT HAPPENED Back in 1840, dentists formed the American Society of Dental Surgeons. Their members were required to sign pledges that they would NOT use mercury in the fillings they placed. There were even cases in New York in 1848 where dentists were fined for malpractice for using mercury in their filling material. Mercury was referred to as "quicksilver" in North American and in Europe was called "quacksalver" Therefore a "quack" was someone who pretends to cure disease and "salve" was an application for wounds. The term "quack" was first applied to anyone using mercury to cure skin diseases, e.g. the skin lesions associated with tertiary syphilis. The skin rash would disappear, but the disease went deeper into the organs and the nervous system and the person died a very painful death. The term was then used against dentists using mercury for the same reason, - using a poisonous substance to "cure" or fix decay. Because of the internal feuds, a new dental organization was formed in 1859 – the American Dental Association (ADA). This body did NOT condemn the use of mercury, to the extreme now 140 years later; they try to crucify any dentist who tells his or her patients about the dangers of mercury! Many practitioners believe the ADA actually send undercover personnel into offices of practitioners who dare to speak the truth, to gather information against them and challenge their licenses.

94. Patient Education For Fibromyalgia fibromyalgia is a common form of generalized muscular pain and fatigue. Patients withfibromyalgia usually ache all over, sleep poorly, are stiff on waking, http://www.rheumatology.org/publications/primarycare/number1/hrh0002-98.asp

View Site Map ACR Home Publications Primarycare ... Return to Table of Contents Patient Education for Fibromyalgia What is Fibromyalgia? • Changes in mood and thinking are common in fibromyalgia. Many individuals feel "blue" or "down," and some people also feel very anxious. Many factors, including emotional and psychological stress, may have a worsening effect on symptoms they already have. Fibromyalgia is linked in some patients to depression; consultation with a mental health worker may be necessary. What Causes Fibromyalgia? How is Fibromyalgia Treated? Medications Medications that promote deeper sleep and also relax muscles help many people with fibromyalgia. These include amitriptyline (Elavil), doxepin (Sinequan), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), and related medications. Although these medications are also used to treat depression, in people with fibromyalgia they are generally used in very low doses and only at bedtime. Occasionally, patients may have less pain when taking antidepressant medications such as fluoxetine. Although many people sleep better and have less discomfort when they take these medications, the improvement varies greatly from person to person, and there may be unwanted side effects. Analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be used in moderation for pain control. Daily Gentle Aerobic Exercise and Stretching Both daily gently aerobic exercise and stretching exercises are important. You may be reluctant to exercise if you are already in pain and feel tired. Low- or non-impact aerobic exercises such as brisk walking, biking, swimming, or water aerobics are generally the best way to start an exercise program. Physical therapy may be helpful and could include techniques such as heat, ice, massage, whirlpool, or ultrasound and electrical stimulation.

©Marilyn J. Kerr RN 1997-2002 TEXT I wish to personally welcome you to this web site. It has been created, with love, for you. When we first get diagnosed (or wonder if we should be diagnosed), I know too well how difficult it is to find information about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (aka CFIDS, M.E.), Lyme, and/or Fibromyalgia Syndrome. There are a myriad of sites that bring you the basics, and I try to present you those basics as well as information slightly beyond. At the moment, there is no cause nor cure. There are no magic bullets. This disease is so complex, no one drug will work. This is not a disease of just your muscles, your immune system, your sleep dysfunction, your hormones, your nutritional deficiencies, your NMH, or your gut; it is a cluster of symptoms that involve every system of your body. Treating it, therefore, involves testing and treating those deficiencies. The controversies surrounding that and the differences in our health contribute to our stress. My new job is to help us sort that all out. Hugs, Marilyn K

99. Fibromyalgia Although the pathophysiology of fibromyalgia is unknown it is a very real syndrome . True fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic conditio requiring long term http://www.ncemi.org/cse/cse0908.htm

More Emergency Medicine Resources Back to table of contents 9.08 Fibromyalgia (Trigger Points) Presentation What to do: When you find a trigger point, map out its exact location (point of maximum tenderness) and place an X over the site with a marker or ball point pen. If the trigger point is diffuse there is no need to outline its location. Obtain a careful history and perform a general physical exam to help exclude the possibility of a serious underlying disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis or cancer. With any suspicion that an underlying problem exists, obtain an x ray or an erythrocyte sedimentation rate. These studies should both be normal in fibromyalgia. Where trigger points are diffuse, prescribe a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory such as naprosen (Anaprox) 275mg two tablets stat then one qid or ibuprofen (Motril) 800mg stat then 600mg qid x 5 days. A muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine (Flexaril) may also be helpful. When a focal trigger point is present you can suggest to the patient that he may get immediate relief with an injection. Inject 2-5ml of l% xylocaine or loger-acting 0.5% bupivacaine along with 20-40mg of methylprednisolone (Depomedrol) or 2-5mg of triamcinolone (Aristospan) through the mark you placed on the skin, directly into the painful site. Be sure you are not in a vessel and then "fan" the needle in all directions while injecting the trigger point. In addition, to insure total coverage, massage the area after the injection is complete. The patient will often get complete or near-complete pain relief, which helps to confirm the diagnosis of fibromyalgia. The beneficial effect of this injection may last for weeks or months. A supplementary five day course of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories is optional.
